Swedish entry word djup [ju:p] djupt djupa adj. som har stort avstånd till botten; som går långt ner eller in
English translation deep
Examples en djup brunn---a deep well sjön är tio meter djup---the lake is ten metres deep djupa skogar---deep forests djupa tallrikar---deep plates garderoben är 60 cm djup---the wardrobe is 60 cm deep
I'm finding that a lot of Scots words and colloquialisms are pwoermds in themselves and don't need much tinkering. And, as you suggest, a lot of Swedish words look like pwoermds. That word "djup" for example, with the "ju" squeezed between the "d" and "p", suggesting so much more than its meaning - just looks good! And the balance and repeated "sk" in "skotskt" - brilliant!
